The swabbing process is accomplished by machines that have a winch with cable. A foldable mast with Sheave or pulley On top, and a drive system. Usually truck-mounted to move the equipment from well to well. Swab machines come in various sizes. Size or machine capacity is determined by the depth of the well to be swabbed.


Swab rig operator drives to the well to be swabbed or serviced. Usually backs the machine close to the well. The operators raise the mast with sheave and align the mast with the centerline of a well. The operator lowers cable and tools into and out of a well via the winch drum and mast crown pulley or sheave. Swab tools usually include a weight bar, “jars” and swab cup tools. A “swab cup” is a rubber cup used to seal off against the inside of the wellbore or well pipe or well tubing.


Swab tools are used to support the swab cups. The tools are lowered into a well, down to the fluid level. Swab tools allow fluids to flow up through and past to above the swab cups, as the winch drum with cable lowers cable and tooling into the well into the fluids. Then the winch drum winds up the cable, tools, swab cups, and a column of fluids are lifted up and out of the well.

Swab Rig Operator

MBI
09.2014 - 08.2015

Gas and oil wells produce fluid over the life of a well. When a well is first Drilled. Usually, it is “fracked” to help open productions zones. Fracking can include water. After “frac” the fluids are recovered by swabbing to “kick” the well off. As fluids are lifted up and off, The bottom hole pressure pushes the gas and or oil up and out the well. About 45% of the frack Fluids come back at Kick off. The balance of frac fluid flows back with production over time.


Throughout the life of a well. Fluids flow back with natural gas or oil. Sometimes as well ages, the bottom hole pressures fall off. There might not be enough pressure to push all the water or fluids out of a well. Water gets above the oil or gas. Then production falls off. The well must be swabbed out to maintain production.


Swabbing is a process to remove fluids “off the production zone” from a gas or oil well. Swabbing is an art form. The operator must have the “feel” of the machine in sync with the well pressures, sounds, And depth.
